Although Dirck Van Schelluyne died in 1759, in 1756, "Mrs. Scurlion" (Elizabeth was perhaps the only Mrs. at risk) was acknowledged as the head of their household until Cornelis reached adulthood.

In 1765, she was identified as sixty-eight years old when she was questioned by the court about an incident that occurred when she was fifteen. In 1767, she was named on the city assessment roll with her son as the owner of one of the more valuable pieces of property in the city. Elizabeth Roseboom Van Schelluyne died sometime thereafter.
